"Thanks for your note. Sorry for the delay---we are finalizing
them and I anticipate we will begin to ship over the next few
weeks."

MacRumors says the email looks legitimate, although it's possible
it could be faked.

AirPods have been hotly anticipated since Apple revealed them
alongside the iPhone 7, which doesn't have a headphone jack. The
$159 wireless headphones were positioned as the obvious
next-generation fix, but many are
now worried that the devices will miss the all-important
holiday season.

Cook didn't say whether they'd be on sale during Christmas, but
"next few weeks" suggests that they're coming soon.

So if you want a pair of AirPods, just hold on! Cook says they're
coming.
